These may constitute significant breeding opportunities.

High traffic and/or heavily soiled parts of this station identified above requires extra attention. Waste bins must be cleaned daily inside and out (Add small amount of bleach directly to the inside of cleaned waste bins to deter fly activity).
- B) Place a pan or bowl of vinegar and liquid soap mixture (make sure there is enough soap added to form and hold bubbles to capture adult fruit flies - use nozzle sprayer to maximize bubbles) in general area of concentrated fly activity.
- C) Discuss issue with Pest Control. Have them provide advice and possibly added adult traps for key harbourage areas as discussed.
